New Headphones

[CorpseFactor]

Hey guys, I was looking to get a new pair of nice headphones and I've narrowed the search down to these two pairs.

and

Thoughts on which I should choose? I'm looking for nice sound and last-ability.

i've had my mdr7506s for at least 2 years now and they sound great. only problems i've had are the cushion things slipping off the plastic occasionally

That's what I hear, I remember my dad having these old pair of Sony Studio headphones that he used in his DJ college career. They were pretty rad, but the padding wasn't the best perse. Then again, they were about 30 years old, still worked surprisingly until this past year.

the padding is fine, it's just the elastic isn't as strong as it used to be

nothing a little bit of glue can't fix
